This proves that you don't need expensive animation in order to make an amazing film, great writing satisfies is just as fine.

Thumbs up when Nostalgia Critic brought u here :D

These UPA cartoons certainly influenced a lot of the other studios! For example, some of the LT cartoons started to use nice UPA-styled backgrounds in the mid-50s.

The animation certainly isn't great compared with most other studios at that time, but it fits the nice stylised backgrounds.

Folks ... this animated short was created by Theador "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and was release by Columbia Pictures on November 2, 1950. It was the winner of the 1950 Academy Award for Best Animated Short.

How?

[Keith Pixton]

Oh. So he was saying that the cartoon is well-written even though the animation sucks, whereas you were upset that thirty people liked that comment. (Your comment about him being "wannabe-elitist" may have been a little much.)

I agree with you, the animation is great for its time. This cartoon is an absolute classic.

I was responding to ItsTachy's dumb comment about how writing is all you need to make a cartoon

[Keith Pixton]

Um...what the crap are you talking about?

Everyone loves you when you're famous, that's nothing too fair, and the good doctor failed two times in that line, one with Gerald McBoing-Boing and the second with Daisy-Head Daisy.
